Chateau Musar, Bekaa Valley - half bottle

Superb & unique wine from Lebanon

Château Musar is rich and ripe with complex aromas of spicy red fruits, plum and cedar. The palate shows generous black and red fruits flavours and hints of cake spice while the texture is soft and the finish long.

Chateau Musar - a family affair

Serge Hochar, Gaston's eldest son trained as a civil engineer, then decided to study oenology and with the encouragement of his father became a student of Emile Peynaud at the University of Oenology in Bordeaux.

Since 1959, Serge has created the world of Chateau of Musar and in 1984 was awarded 'Man of the Year'by Decanter Magazine.

With his 2 sons by his side Serge continued to make wine until his death in 2014. His legacy lives on with Gaston managing the day to day running of the winery and Marc overseeing all of the commercial aspects of the business.

But the family affair doesn't stop there, Serge's brother Ronald who help's keep the business going.

Ronald's son Ralph who works with the on-trade sector from Chateau Musar's UK office and finally the youngest member Ralph's daughter Elsa who recently produced a documentary film about Chateau Musar.
